Again, in the interests of balance, following our London Weekly liveblog on Friday, here is an alternative view of how the new freesheet's launch went:
The London Weekly's website quotes "Sports Writer and Co-Founder of Global Publishing Group and the London Weekly, Tony Woodcock".
Here's what he has to say:
"We have launched a newspaper for young Londoners despite a tough economic climate. We have a long term strategy to expand throughout the UK and are focused and poised to reach our strategy in the next five years. Anyone who expects perfection for a brand new launch is practically living in a dreamworld. We are very content with the thousands of support we have had from readers who have picked up a copy this morning and this is our main focus to cater for the audience who want to grow with us as we keep improving issue after issue".
Beneath the story are posted many supportive comments. (Although, curiously, while the comments are mostly positive, under the comment ranking system, all of those comments are given negative ratings by other readers).
